Great photo, Bob! The best I have seen.
They are now building a deck above that will have a killer view of the estuary and Cortez beyond.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Roger, there was a deck above then... and I think it's been expanded. Wonderful place with great home cook'n. Nice family place indeed. I can't
wait to go back there. We stopped by and spent about three hours there... and almost adopted a black lab puppy that sat in our lap as we sipped on
our margaritas!

Ah so, Bob...I guess they are replacing the flooring above now.
I love those labs! I will try the pinapple drink and the margaritas, too.

Pancho Villas...The best, or maybe that new breakfast place across from the Jungle...thats a best place too.
Had the best shrimp c-cktail at El Patron Thursday night.
Don't forget about Rays Place out in the valley.
Wow, so many good places to eat in Mulege...what to do? what to do?

Los Olivos - A Mulege Riverside Cafe
Ah...finally got to try Los Olivos cafe on the south river road in Mulege yesterday. A peaceful place and good experience.
I joined some fellow nomads about 10:00 for brunch..ugh..I am not a 'brunch' kinda guy..so let's make that a 'late breakfast.'
(..slight detour here. I see Brunch signs and think...tea and crumpets, doilies you don't dare spill on, and your great aunt Abagail serving with the
tiny cups that would only fit a doll's fingers. I think 'breakfast' in gallons of coffee in mugs, pounds of bacon, full ham slice, mountains of
crispy hash browns, a flat of eggs, 6-inch stack of flapjacks, sticks of butter, hogshead of sryup, sourdough Texas toast, jar of raspberry jam...and
a small orange slice...halved. That trencherman's table will do just fine, thanks.)
The location of Los Olivos is easy to find, it's next door to La Jungla cantina and has an excellent view of the riverfront and mangroves. Take the
highway turnoff where you see the Jungla and Bart's signs..between the Orchard and Hotel Cuesta entries. Down the road you go..all the way to the
river and it's right there..on your left. 
.
.
I had driven by the place the previous day..after eating at the riverside place on the opposite side, Pancho Villa's. I was full, naturally, so only
visited a short time with these satisfied patrons. They had such raves about the cream omelette they had just eaten, that I knew I would be coming
here soon. The charming hostess came out with her beautiful child to say hello and invite me back.
.
.
So now I am back...and joined my breakfast companions, Beachgirl and mulegmichael. I asked how the coffee was? That brought on some hearty smiles.
.
I think they had some extra Kahlua in thiers, so I hastily ordered the same.
.
From hostess Blanca. After asking her name, I introduced myself and she said..I know you, Rogelio.
That's the way it is if you live in a small town for so long...years fly by and friend's children grow up on you.
.
Beachgirl shows me the cafe mascot..what a pair of cuties!
.
Then our co-hostess, Jeanine, brought me a menu...and I was hit by the thunderbolt...Kaa-POW! I will eat absolutely anything this vision will put
before me. Gimme a riverrock, I don't care...
.
The new love of my life convinced me to order off the menu..which was full of goodies, as you shall see here:
(Spanish on one side - English on the other..What a novel idea!..the clever angels.)
.
.
Aphrodite..I mean Jeanine ..brought my breakfast of whatever I had blindly pointed to while looking into her eyes.
.
.
The plate was a wonderous surprise...I think she must have guessed my favorite breakfast is huevos rancheros. What a dish..be still my heart.
.
And..as if that great meal were not enough, Jeanine sets a beautifully arranged plate of tiny empenadas and fruit in front of me. Ahh..the good life
is definetely in Mulege. I could even manage one of those tiny teacups for this cafe.
.
Beachgirl asks mulegemichael and me how we liked the place? This picture says it all...
.
.
After another fine cup of coffee and loosening my belt one notch, I go inside to compliment the two businesswomen of Los Olivos..Jeanine and Blanca.
Congratulations on a very good cafe. I shall return..you can bet on it.
I do what the voices in my tackle box tell me.

Good for you Roger... finally found the best breakfast in Mulege.
Not to take away from Pancho Villa's or Carmalita's tho.
Mulege is blessed with many good places to eat

shari...poo-poo away. Creative people all over Baja are pursueing thier own Field of Dreams, following the premise
of ..Build it and they shall come.
Here's one of my favorite creative persons in Mulege. Sophia, owner-operator of the cozy Eleven-Seven Cafe and tienda across from the highway Pemex
station and next to Saul's La Palapa.
.
One of those truly delightful people you love to talk to over a great cup of coffee. She also serves muy tasty food...like this mouth-watering
chicken snack I recently shared with Two Dogs. Saturdays are for her famous mini-burgers..mmm. She attracts a regular breakfast crowd of admirers.
I make up reasons to run to town and stop here coming..or going. You are sure to meet..or make..some friends.
.
.
I would love for my plant experiments to turn out as healthy looking as Sophia's greenery here...wow, good going, Sophia.
